Mission 17 - Furnace of Souls

Video Walkthrough

Dante navigates the Furnace of Souls to get to the hellgate and take down Mundus. You can get the Every hero has a weakness Achievement / Trophy here also.

You will quickly notice fire shooting from far below. If you can make it through the entire mission without touching this fire, the Every hero has a weakness achievement / trophy will unlock.

The first area forks into two paths. Take the path to the right until you reach a big platform with a Frost Knight and Hell Knight. Take them both out, but stay away from the edges, you may catch on fire. After the fight, look to the left for a red ring on a stone door. Angel boost over to the door, Demon Pull it in mid-air, then Angel Lift up to the area. A Lost Soul can be found inside.

Jump to a lone stone platform down to the left. Wait for the flames to come and push it up before jumping and angel boosting down to the next big platform. When you reach the bigger platform, look around the left structure to find a Lost Soul.

Continue down the road until you reach a much bigger platform. This is where the next big fight will be. Several Elite Stygians will team up with a Butcher. Defeating them will bring a Witch and another Butcher.

After defeating all enemies, look around for a Lost Soul. If you're looking in the same direction from where you started, it should be off to the right. Follow the short stone path to it.

When ready, continue on down the next path of stone platforms. A few Demon Pulls will be necessary to complete the path.

The next big area will split off into two paths again. The path to the right is short and quick. Angel Lift over to it to reach a doorway covered by blue vines. Use your Angelic Weapons to cut through. Inside is an Ivory Key. Grab it and continue to the last path.

This next path will have a Ravager and a Hell Knight on it, but nothing else. Quickly defeat them and continue on. Try throwing them off the side of the rock platforms for a quick elemental kill. Down the path will be more blue rings for Angel Lifts. A few Demon Pulls on the floating rocks will be necessary to progress. Switch back and forth between Angel Lifts and Demon Pulls to make it across quickly without getting burned. The path will take you to a Divinity Statue.

Continue on using more Angel Lifts to reach the next platform. A few Stygians will be on the platform beside a Lost Soul.

Before continuing down the path, look to the right side for a red ring. Use the Demon Pull ability to bring out a rock platform. Use the platform to reach a Gold Secret Door down below. This door leads to the A Day in Hell Secret Mission. When ready, continue on to the next area.

Up ahead is a short path to the next combat area. On the way to the combat area, you may see a Devil Trigger Star floating on a small rock. It's possible to jump to it, if you dare! The next rectangular rocks will bounce quite a bit when standing on them. Use Aquila's Round Trip attack to cut the blue vines blocking the path up ahead. The doorway will lead to another battle area.

The battle will pit you against a Tyrant and a Witch. Defeating them will bring two more of the same demons, alongside a Dreamrunner. Evade as much as possible, and use the Demon Evade ability to your advantage. If you get injured, use the Devil Trigger ability, or cut some of the green pods around. This may be one of the toughest battles, seeing as how the witch can place her barrier on the Dreamrunner. Use Aquila's Round Trip ability to break the barrier as often as possible, and use Eryx's Uppercut ability to stop the Dreamrunner as he does the portal attack.

After the battle, continue to the next area. Use a few Angel Lifts to reach the next big platform. This platform has the last Lost Soul of the mission. It should be around a rock on the right side of the platform. A few more Angel Lifts will take you to the end of the mission.
